When the Bible became a Weapon: "Homosexual "was never in the Bible until 1946 -Kathy Baldock (Edit)

If the word " homosexual " was never in Scripture until 1946, how did it end up in the Bible, to be used as a weapon by the Church against so many LGBTQ Christians and families? - So much of the pain carried by the LGBTQ community did not begin with God’s heart but with a translation error. Join Deborah Bell and her guest, Kathy Baldock, on TNL LIVE, an LGBTQ Christian weekly podcast, to hear Kathy’s incredible story and her research on this topic. (2 July 2026) Kathy Baldock, author and founder of Canyonwalker Connections, based in Reno, Nevada, is a leading expert on historical and present discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community, in particular, discrimination from the socially conservative Christian church and political sectors. Kathy, is one of the main researchers featured in the award-winning documentary film 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture. Her new book, Forging a Sacred Weapon: How a 1946 Bible Mistranslation Shifted Culture (2026), is a historical and contextually-based survey following human sexuality, same-sex behaviour, procreation, and Bible translations, as impacted by cultural, social, medical, political, legal, and military influences from ancient to current times. The book focuses on original research into the reasons the word “homosexuals” was included for the first time in the 1946 Revised Standard Version NT Bible. Her first book, Walking the Bridgeless Canyon (2014), pieced together the history of cultural and religious discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and contains personal stories of LGBTQ+ people impacted by non-inclusive theology. Kathy’s story will leave you with new insights into scripture and both LGBTQ Christians and allies, will find freedom in the richness of her sharing her life’s journey and liberating truth and knowledge she brings.
